[1] [2] It is intended to be the successor to the Lockheed Martin F-22.USAF officials said experimental tests have been flown since 2020, and the service aims to field it by decade's end, [3 ...

Dive into the incredible story of the X-44 MANTA, a revolutionary stealth fighter concept that pushed the limits of aviation. Designed without a tail and equipped with cutting-edge thrust...

2024年10月1日 · Looking like a sleeker F-22A Raptor, the X-44 was a delta-shaped plane with no tail. It was meant for extremely low-visibility flight and, had it been built and deployed, it likely would have...

2023年8月1日 · Though nothing ever came of the Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA, last fall there were reports of a similar-looking aircraft at the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation’s test facility in China. According to TheDrive, the puzzling airframe in question had first appeared in early-to-mid 2021 next to a standalone hanger.

2023年7月15日 · The X-44 Manta is equipped with advanced avionics systems that enhance situational awareness, data processing, and communication capabilities. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI)...

2022年4月9日 · "The Lockheed X-44 MANTA existed as an offshoot of the then-soon-to-be F-22 Raptor line - it being a tailless aircraft relying on thrust vectoring for extreme agility."

2022年3月31日 · As the world’s first operational stealth fighter, the first fighter to christen the new “5th-generation” of jets, and arguably the most potent air superiority aircraft ever to fly in service for any nation, it makes sense that the United States would have considered leaning into the F-22 program for other, more specialized roles.

2011年7月7日 · The X-44 MANTA is a converted delta-winged F-22 which uses vectored thrust as its sole means of control. The plan is to convert an F-22 so that it uses its thrust vectoring nozzles for its flight...

The Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA (Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft) is a conceptual fighter based on the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor , with enhanced thrust vectoring. The program was canceled in 2000. The aircraft is controlled solely by thrust vectoring, without rudders, ailerons, or elevators; making it resemble a tail-less FB-22 StrikeRaptor.
